Photo London is delighted to present the first major presentation of Vivian Maier’s work in the United Kingdom

Vivian Maier (1926-2009) worked as a governess for more than four decades as of the beginning of the 1950s. Her entire life went inevitably unnoticed, until her photographic corpus was discovered recently (in 2007): a colossal work consisting of more than 120,000 negatives, super 8mm and 16mm films, various recordings, miscellaneous photographs, and a multitude of undeveloped films. In spite of the fact that there has not been enough time to compare the different scholarly and critical analyses of this work, it seemed appropriate to show a non-exhaustive yet representative selection of the photographer’s images. This first presentation provides a glimpse into the fine eye and subtlety with which Vivian Maier appropriated the visual language of her age.
